[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][toc]

Apart from MRT, BTS, Airport Rail Link, Taxis, Cars and Chaopraya Express Boat, what are other transports you can take to get around Bangkok?

Bangkok BRT

Bangkok BRT is a bus rapid transport system. These buses travel faster than normal buses as they have their own lanes. BRT’s route is between Sathorn Station (Near Chong Nonsi BTS Station) and Ratchapruek Station (Near Talat Phlu BTS Station)

Bangkok Buses

Bangkok bus

Travelling with buses is cheap comparing with other methods. However, it is recommended to avoid buses as it is quite difficult, even for locals, to understand the routes. Plus, some bus numbers are often compared with Fast & Furious (meaning that they drive so fast and so carelessly).

Vans

Vans are widely used by Bangkokians because it is quite fast and not expensive. However, it is not recommended for foreigners to use vans to travel around Bangkok as, like buses, there are so many routes and it is not worth your time learning about them.[/vc_column_text][vc_cta h2=”” h4=”Bangkokbits’ Tips on Vans” h4_font_container=”color:%23e26d25″ h4_use_theme_fonts=”yes” style=”custom” custom_background=”#f0f0f0″ custom_text=”#444444″ use_custom_fonts_h4=”true”]Despite not being recommended in Bangkok, travelling by vans is actually a good way to go upcountry as it will cost you far less than private hires or taxis.[/vc_cta][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row]
